We heard you, thanks for taking our survey last month. Over 95% said new leadership was a must. Ronna Romney McDaniel stepped down. Michael Whatley stepped up as Chair and Lara Trump as Co-Chair. Thanks for your input. 2024 is an important year for the country and the Party.

Our esteemed Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando is proposing another bill to allow folks stopped by the police to just drive away and refuse to have the car searched if the cops feel there is a cause. This is one of a string of proposals he's made to disrespect police and hinder them from doing their work.

As crime and violence rises all around the Metro area, this will surely lead to more instances of lawlessness. Tell us what you think at [email protected]

Marc Elrich’s Executive Order tied the hands of law enforcement. In 2019, County Executive Marc Elrich signed an executive order prohibiting local law enforcement from cooperating with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Soon thereafter, we organized and hundreds showed up in a protest led by Larry O’Connor and Vince Coglianese of WMAL, Sebastian Gorka, Michelle Malkin and families of MCPD officers killed by convicted felons who were illegally in the United States. MCPD officers faced away from us to protect us as County officials and those they hired lined up across the street.

Policies have consequences. WJLA reports that so far this year Montgomery County has failed to honor 119 detainers and it is only February. Recently, reporter Brad Bell accompanied ICE agents as they attempted to arrest a non-citizen, convicted felon who had been the subject of an ICE detainer for deportation but was released from a local jail after 18 months.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was recently held at the Gaylord National Harbor, Maryland with the theme “Where Globalism Goes to Die.” The event kicked off with the first ever CPAC International Summit that denounced the tyrannical regimes of Russia, China, Brazil and Joe Biden in addition to issuing resolutions. The General Session ran from Thursday through Saturday and the program brought both domestic and international leaders to the stage. It was three days of big names discussing topics such as the weaponization of our government and justice system (lawfare), illegal immigration, the economy, energy, the impact of COVID, international conflicts and concerns, election integrity, child trafficking, many of the failed policies of the Biden Administration (too numerous to list).

REMOVING YOUR CHOICES - TAKING YOUR MONEY

We’re used to the County Executive and County Council knowing what’s best for us – even if we disagree. But with an arcane idea called BEPS (Building Energy Performance Standards), they want to eliminate choice and spend Granny into the poorhouse.

Under the guise of global warming, they want to decree that you may only have one source of energy, to cook, to heat, to cool and run your car. It’s an all-electric future they’ve declared for us, no matter whether you want it or not.

Apart from the Feds and the State mandating that your car or truck or school bus or delivery truck must be electric, they’re mandating that folks who live in high-rises must all convert to electric.  Yep, if you live in a big building built years ago it’s got to convert from gas or oil to electric, at a huge cost to each owner, or if a rental building the owner will pass that cost to you. Bye to your warm heat, bye to your gas stove. Bye to the money in your wallet.
